Full text linkThe aim of this study is to provide an estimate of the social costs of gambling in Italy. In line with other research on social costs, the present study estimates the consequences of gambling harm on public finances, focusing on the estimated costs to treat high-risk gamblers, costs associated with productivity losses, costs of unemployment, personal and family costs, crime and legal costs. We used two different approaches to calculate these costs. The first approach, used for health care costs, consists of using the lump sum spent to prevent the harm caused to high-risk gamblers. The second approach involves estimating the number of high-risk gamblers causing the cost, which is then multiplied with the average unit cost per person. Our estimates of the annual social costs of gambling in Italy – more than EUR 2.3 billion – demonstrate a substantial economic burden to society. However, the costs are a substantial underestimate, as they are limited to those of a public nature and do not take into consideration those costs borne by moderate and low-risk gamblers, as well as affected others

La controversia sul metodo: un’interpretazione del dibattito online sui vaccini a partire dai saperi esperti
No full textThe article aims to identify the main features of scientific debate on the Covid-19 pandemic and which arguments are used
to underline relevance and effectiveness of vaccination, and, moreover, to discuss what image of scientific knowledge as a
cultural product emerges from this debate. The reflection starts from a content analysis of some social profiles (Twitter above all,
but also Facebook) and more marginally from newspaper articles and scientific dissemination web pages (blogs). In detail,
through a social media ethnography, the authors have focused on arguments of a scientific nature, not directly taking into
consideration the articulated ‘no-vax’ world, positions related to irrational or emotional sphere or discourses of public figures which
are not medical doctors or scientists. The observation period (September-December 2021) is the one following the introduction in
Italy of those measures (the so-called Green Pass) that have prompted a more heated debate
